Moist Esports And Shopify Rebellion Collaborate For A Joint Team For VALORANT NA Challengers, Known As MxS
In a thrilling development that has sent shockwaves through the esports world, Moist Esports and Shopify Rebellion, two North American esports giants, have forged a formidable alliance to establish a joint team for VALORANT Challengers North America.
This groundbreaking collaboration has given birth to “MxS,” an entity poised to make its mark on the competitive VALORANT scene. Beyond creating a powerhouse roster, these two esteemed organizations are set to embark on a collaborative journey that promises to redefine the landscape of professional gaming.
The Genesis of MxS
The official announcement of MxS took the esports community by storm, signifying a pivotal moment in the trajectories of both Moist Esports and Shopify Rebellion. Ludwig Ahgren, Co-Owner of Moist Esports, shed light on the genesis of this groundbreaking partnership, attributing it to the shared success of players from Moist Moguls, Moist Esports’ VALORANT roster, and their counterparts at Shopify Rebellion. These players had previously tasted victory as a mixed roster known as the “Lobster Fishers.”
Rather than placing the burden of choosing between organizations on their players, Shopify and Moist Esports opted for a visionary path. Together, they conceived MxS, an entirely new entity designed to encompass the extraordinary talents of these players. Ahgren emphasized that MxS represents a collaborative venture between the two organizations, with Shopify’s financial support bolstering Ahgren’s vision for the roster.
The Ambitious Ascent
Ahgren outlined MxS’s ambitious goals with unequivocal determination: to secure victory in NA Challengers, ascend to the prestigious VCT Americas, and establish unassailable dominance within that realm. Notably, Ahgren and MxS harbor aspirations to challenge Riot Games’ VCT promotion system, which currently grants promoted teams a two-season tenure in the top-tier league.
Ahgren contends that the existing system warrants reevaluation, and MxS seeks to exert pressure on Riot Games by becoming an indisputable powerhouse in VCT Americas. The potential popularity and triumph of MxS could compel Riot Games to reevaluate its promotion structure.
Ahgren elaborated on this audacious objective: “Our goals are to win Ascension, become a tier one team, perform at such an exceptional level in tier one that they cannot relegate us, and ultimately craft the most formidable team in North America.”
A Bold Announcement
The revelation of this groundbreaking partnership closely followed another momentous announcement: Shopify Rebellion’s entry into the League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) by acquiring TSM’s slot in the North American League of Legends league.
In addition to their presence in League of Legends and VALORANT, Rebellion boasts teams in Dota 2, Halo, Rocket League, and StarCraft. Moist Esports, on the other hand, has a presence in Super Smash Bros, Apex Legends, and Rocket League, making this collaboration a convergence of multiple esports disciplines.
The emergence of MxS stands as a watershed moment in North American esports history. The partnership between Moist Esports and Shopify Rebellion signifies a bold stride toward creating an indomitable force in the realm of VALORANT. As MxS embarks on its journey to conquer NA Challengers and beyond, the esports community eagerly anticipates the impact of this unprecedented collaboration, which has the potential to redefine the future of professional gaming.
